Bungee Bridge (バンジーブリッジ) was an obstacle introduced in First Stage of SASUKE 18 as part of the renewal after Nagano Makoto's Kanzenseiha in SASUKE 17.

The obstacle was made up of five sections of bungee cords, each of varying size:

• The first section was only about half the width of the fourth and fifth sections
• The second section was double the size of the fourth and fifth sections.
• The third section was slightly larger than the fourth and fifth sections
• The fourth and fifth sections were the same size

The cords provided little support and caused a very unstable ground. Competitors are allowed to skip several sections as they wish, but due to the distance of the sections, this was almost impossible.

While the obstacle was designed to eliminate competitors, it would act more as a time waster with some competitors losing a lot of time at the obstacle, with no competitor failing the obstacle. Most competitors would step, fall onto the bungee cords, and crawl to the other side. Nagano Makoto displayed the best approach to the obstacle as he walked across the obstacle, as if it was a sidewalk. Due to this, Bungee Bridge was replaced with a far more difficult obstacle, Half-Pipe Attack, in SASUKE 19.
